“Iga Svontek spoke before the press after the semi -final match with Coco Goff”, – WRITE: Sport.ua
“I could not raise my game level. Coco (Hoff) played well, but you know, I was moving badly, I was not ready to reflect such heavy balls and play this style. Yes, everything was bad enough.
I was moving badly, and in general, my whole tournament was unstable. I was not sure that I had any tools at all, even plan B was not there, because nothing worked today.
I played badly even in the matches I won. ”
The second WTA world racket also explained that it was wrong with Hoff, and told about a problem that has been fighting for several weeks.
“Today everything seems to fall apart. I felt that I was not in the right position before struck. I would like to move better because it could give a chance to go back to the game. This is usually the case. But today I was moving poorly.
You feel difficult, you make yourself do everything because of strength, not intuition, not as usual. I know how I can move, and usually I don’t have to think about it.
But in recent weeks have been difficult – I am forcing myself to fall lower, more precisely to work with my feet, because the movement does not come on myself. I hope everything will work one day, but until I expect anything. I’ll just work on it. ”
Swontek will not have much time training before the next tournament – Italian Open, where she won last year.
The second WTA 1000 tournament in the season starts in Rome on Monday, May 5.
IGA SWIATEK: TODAY, FOR SURE, EVERYTHING COLLAPSED TENNIS-WISE. I Feel Like I Wasn’s Even in the Right Place with My Feet Before The Shots. I Wish i would have moved batter because i THINK THATW GIVE ME APPORTUNITY TO BUNCE BACK. pic.twitter.com/t1bxMMVMOC
